Overview

On this page are the results of the Elasticsearch nightly benchmarks based on the master
branch as of that point in time. The Apache Software Foundation also provides a similar page for the Lucene nightly benchmarks.

Benchmarks

Benchmarking Methodology

All benchmarks are run by Rally against the Elasticsearch master branch as of that date. The benchmark uses four bare-metal server-class machines. On one we run the benchmark driver (Rally), on the other three the benchmark candidate (one to three Elasticsearch nodes, one per machine). All machines are connected via a dedicated 10 GBit switched network.

The benchmarks are intentionally not scalability benchmarks but rather show the performance characteristics of Elasticsearch ranging from one node to at most three nodes and are mainly intended to help the development team spot performance regressions.
